DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, with examples shown in the accompanying drawings. When the description below involves the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numeral in different accompanying drawings stands for the same or similar element. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the implementation manners consistent with the present application. Conversely, they are only examples of the apparatus and method described in detail in the attached claims and consistent with some aspects of the present application.

The terms used in the present application are only for the purpose of describing exemplary embodiments and not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms “one”, “the”, and “this” used in the present application and in the attached claims also are intended to cover plural forms unless their meanings are otherwise clearly indicated in the context. It should also be understood that the term “and/or” used in the text refers to any or all possible combinations containing one or more of the associated listed items.

It should be understood that although the present application may use terms such as first, second, and third to describe various kinds of information, the information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only intended to differentiate information of the same type. For example, without departing from the scope of the present application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Subject to the context, the term “if” used here may be interpreted as “at the time of . . . ”, “when . . . ”, or “in response to a determination.”

In related art, an application interface generally includes a plurality of page areas, and each page area may include one or more buttons in a form of icons. Please refer to the schematic diagram of an application interface shown in FIG. 1. The area where “Button A”, “Button B”, and “Button C” are located is a page area of the application interface. “Button A”, “Button B”, and “Button C” are icon buttons in this area, and by clicking on these icon buttons, corresponding functions may be enabled, such as: displaying a payment code, displaying an existing coupon, and the like. The area where “Button D”, “Button E”, . . . , “Button H” are located is another page area of the application interface. “Button D”, “Button E”, . . . , “Button H” are icon buttons in this area, and by clicking on these icon buttons, corresponding functions may also be enabled, such as: enabling an account transfer function, enabling a payment function, and the like.

In the present specification, to facilitate description, these buttons that are used to enable corresponding functions/operations may be called functional icons, and the page areas may be called functional areas. The foregoing functional areas and functional icons are generally set by developers. In general, the developers often set functional icons of the same function type in the same functional area according to service providers requirements. For example, “Button A”, “Button B” and “Button C” shown in FIG. 1 are located in functional area 1, and “Button D”, “Button E”, . . . , “Button H” are located in functional area 2. Some applications allow users to customize the functional icons in a certain functional area. For example, a user may set an order of “Button D”, “Button E”, . . . , “Button H” in functional area 2 according to his own usage preferences. However, this only allows a personalized setting in a certain functional area, settings in other areas are still limited, and thus, the actual needs of all users are not met.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of an application interface management method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present specification.

The application interface management method may be used in smart terminal devices, such as mobile phones and tablet computers. The method may include the following steps.

In Step 201, interface layout parameters may be requested from an interface layout server in an application start process. The interface layout parameters may include layout parameters of one or more functional areas and layout parameters of one or more functional icons.

In this embodiment, after a user starts an application, the application may request the interface layout parameters of this application from an interface layout server. The interface layout server may be a server or a server cluster deployed by a service provider, and it may be used to store interface layout parameters of an interface personalized by a user. The interface layout server may further be used to provide related business services for users.

In some embodiments, the interface layout parameters may include: layout parameters of one or more functional areas in each interface of this application, and layout parameters of one or more functional icons. The layout parameters of the functional areas may generally include: IDs of functional areas and location parameters of the functional areas in the interface. The layout parameters of the functional icons usually include: IDs of functional icons, IDs of functional areas where the functional icons are located, and location parameters of the functional icons in their functional areas (where the functional icons are located).

Still referring to the application interface shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the interface layout parameters obtained by the application may include: the ID of functional area 1 and the location parameter of functional area 1 in this interface, the ID of functional area 2 and the location parameter of functional area 2 in this interface, the IDs of functional icon A to functional icon H, the corresponding functional area IDs where functional icon A to functional icon H are located, and the location parameters in the functional areas where each functional icon is located. For example, the ID of functional area 1 is ID1, and the location parameter of functional area 1 is 1, indicating that the location of functional area 1 is the uppermost part of this interface; the ID of functional area 2 is ID2, and the location parameter of functional area 2 is 2, indicating that the location of functional area 2 is below functional area 1 and is adjacent to functional area 1.

In Step 202, an application interface is generated according to the obtained layout parameters of functional areas and the obtained layout parameters of functional icons. Each functional area may include one or more functional icons.

Based on Step 201, after the interface layout parameters are obtained, an application interface may be generated according to the interface layout parameters.

In one embodiment, a corresponding functional area may be displayed in an application interface according to the ID of the functional area and the location parameter of the functional area in the interface. Corresponding functional icons may be obtained from a locally prestored functional icon database according to the IDs of the functional icons, and they may be displayed in the corresponding functional areas according to the IDs of their functional areas and the location parameters of the functional icons in their functional areas. The functional icon database usually is obtained from an interface layout server and stored locally when a user installs or upgrades the application. Subsequently, when displaying the interface, the corresponding application icons may be directly obtained from the functional icon database according to the IDs of the functional icons, without making a request to the server again, thereby speeding up the interface display and saving user data traffic.

Still referring to the application interface shown in FIG. 1 as an example, in this step, functional area 1 may be displayed in the uppermost part of the application interface according to functional area ID1, and functional area 2 may be displayed adjacent to and under functional area 1 in the application interface according to functional area ID2. Assuming the background color of functional area 1 is light blue and the background color of functional area 2 is white, a light blue functional area 1 and a white functional area 2 may be displayed. Further, functional icon A to functional icon H may be obtained from a locally prestored functional icon database according to the IDs of functional icon A to functional icon H, and then functional icon A is displayed in light blue functional area 1 according to functional area ID1 to which functional icon A belongs and the location parameter of functional icon A in functional area 1. Functional icon B to functional icon H may be displayed in the same way.

The foregoing interface display process is not visible to users. After a user starts an application, the user may see the displayed application interface, whereas the foregoing steps 201 and 202 describe the process of the application arranging the interface in backend.

In Step 203, in response to a change operation by a user on the application interface, the interface layout of the application interface may be changed.

In some embodiments, a user may customize the layout of an application interface. For example, the user may adjust the locations of every functional icon and every functional area and may also delete functional icons and functional areas the user does not use. The user may trigger a change in an interface layout through a specific operation. The user may also press and hold or double click on any functional icon to trigger a change in an interface layout.

In one embodiment, when a user triggers a change in an interface layout, a close button of a shape “x” may be displayed in the upper right corner of each functional area and each functional icon. When the user clicks on the “x” button of a functional area or a functional icon, the user may delete the corresponding functional area or functional icon in the current application interface. When a user deletes a functional area, all functional icons in the functional area may be deleted all together, and the displayed layout of the application interface is changed by moving adjacent functional areas closer together. Based on the application interface shown in FIG. 1, the application interface shown in FIG. 3 may further include functional area 3. Assuming functional area 3 is a functional area for displaying advertisements and does not include any functional icons, when a user clicks on the “x” button in the upper right corner of functional area 3, functional area 3 may be deleted from the application interface, resulting in the application interface shown in FIG. 1. Instead, assuming the user has deleted all functional icons in functional area 2, functional area 3 will be automatically adjusted to the location of the former functional area 2, forming the application interface shown in FIG. 4.

In this embodiment, a user may further adjust the locations of functional areas or functional icons. In the application interface shown in FIG. 3, after pressing and holding functional icon F, the user may drag functional icon F to the location where functional icon A is located to achieve a cross-area location adjustment of functional icons and form the application interface shown in FIG. 5. In another example, the user may press and hold functional area 3 and drag it to the location of functional area 2 to switch the locations of functional area 3 and functional area 2 and form the application interface shown in FIG. 6.

In one example, the dimensions of the functional areas may be fixed. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the dimensions of functional area 1 are fixed. When a user moves functional icon H to the location of functional icon A, the locations of functional icon A and functional icon B are moved accordingly to make room for functional icon H. As the dimensions of functional area 1 are not changeable, there may be not enough room for functional icon C, and consequently, functional icon C may be deleted.

In another example, the dimensions of the functional areas may be scalable. Based on the application interface shown in FIG. 3, assuming the user has deleted functional icon F to functional icon H in functional area 2, the dimensions of functional area 2 will decrease accordingly, and functional area 3 will be moved upwards accordingly, forming the application interface shown in FIG. 7.

In Step 204, layout parameters of one or more functional areas and layout parameters of one or more functional icons corresponding to the changed application interface may be stored, to the interface layout server.

Based on the foregoing step 203, when a user exits from an interface change, the application may store to the interface layout server the layout parameters of one or more functional areas and the layout parameters of one or more functional icons corresponding to the current application interface. Here, the interface layout server may store interface layout parameters of the user according to a user account number.

As can be seen from the above description, the present specification sets an interface management solution based on actual user requirements, and users can customize the layout of an entire application interface according to their own requirements, thereby improving user experience and user stickiness.

Optionally, in another example, behavioral analysis of a user may be conducted based on the interface layout parameters, so as to perform targeted information push to the user. For instance, assuming user Xiao Bai arranges a fund icon in the most prominent and convenient location in an application interface, it may imply that Xiao Bai frequently buys and sells funds, so that fund-related information and advertisements may be pushed to Xiao Bai. The analysis and information push can be performed by the interface layout server or other servers.

Corresponding to the embodiments of the foregoing application interface management method, the present application further provides an embodiment of an application interface management apparatus.

The embodiments of the application interface management apparatus provided by the present specification may be used on a terminal device. The apparatus may be implemented through software, hardware, or a combination of hardware and software.

Optionally, the change operation may include: a functional icon deletion operation.

When all functional icons in a functional area are deleted, the interface changing unit 803 will delete the functional area and change the display layout of the application interface by moving adjacent functional areas closer together.

Optionally, dimensions of the functional areas are fixed or scalable.

Optionally, the interface layout parameters can be a basis of user behavior analysis and information push.
